The most surprising thing (covered in the video at the bottom of the article) is that the MSN WebTV 2 has similar specs to the original Xbox. Major differences are lack of GPU as in the Xbox, Windows CE instead of a modified W2K, and twice the RAM (128 MB vs the Xbox's 64).

I thought they were a cool idea, at least conceptually. In practice, no one really wanted to read web pages or email from across the room on a fuzzy CRT.
